The rapids

light happy bubbling river...

Rapid - "Avoid conflict at any cost and don't address the issues" Mr. O's policy, particularly he loves to be passive aggressive.

Rapid - High turnover in your position - "Widespread meanness not only damages people; it also undermines performance by driving out good employees at alarming rates... people respond to demeaning and disrespectful bosses and co-workers by calling in sick more often, making fewer suggestions, working less hard and doing lower quality work" Good Boss, Bad Boss by Robert Sutton.

Rapid - Yelling in the office (April and Joe in every meeting because they can't communicate without pissing the other off). Mr. O in particular, Not just yelling in the office but yelling from your desk that you have accepted a meeting for Friday, but then asking what time it is because you don't know how to check your outlook calender - “there isn’t any room in business for yelling. It is bad behavior, and has the wrong impact.” Corner Office: Bob Brennan, nytimes.com.

Rapid - "the regular flex hours are 8:00-8:30 am - 5:00-5:30pm." -April Um, those aren't flex hours those are traditional hours... I think we need a definition here... (From Wikipedia) Flextime or flex hours is a variable work schedule, in contrast to traditional work arrangements requiring employees to work a standard 9am to 5pm day. Its invention is usually credited to William Henning.Under flextime, there is typically a core period (of approximately 50% of total working time/working day) of the day when employees are expected to be at work (for example, between 11 am and 3pm), while the rest of the working day is "flexitime", in which employees can choose when they work, subject to achieving total daily, weekly or monthly hours in the region of what the employer expects, and subject to the necessary work being done. A flextime policy allows staff to determine when they will work. For example, they may opt to work four 10-hour days per week, taking Monday or Friday off. Another flextime schedule is to work nine-hour days Monday through Thursday, an eight-hour day on Friday, taking every other Friday off. Workers may arrange to coordinate their days off so that their responsibilities are adequately covered. - So what does April think Flextime is?
